In this private, one on one, writing class I will personalize my time with your learner to make sure that each lesson is cultivated especially for them. Writing is one of the subjects I am most passionate about. I'm happy to encourage that same love for writing with my students. This class is open to a variety of ages because I enjoy practicing writing with learners across the board even if we are simply working on building a sentence of just a few words. Whether your learner is building on an essay already in the works, or needs help getting started I am excited to help lead the way. I can help students brainstorm, be a sounding board for ideas, provide graphic organizers for structure, edit work for proper grammar/conventions, offer suggestions as to how to incorporate dialogue, descriptive writing, organization, transitions, hooks - you name it! Parents- please make sure to provide me with an idea of what you are hoping to obtain from class before our first meeting. Communication between us is going to be the best way to help me prepare for my time with your learner. Please note that if you have a younger learner this class is not geared toward handwriting. Students attending this class should know the letters of their alphabet- they can still be working on sounds, as I encourage young learners to spell phonetically. My hope is that by the end of our lesson learners can read their own writing to me. I'm happy to edit work with them and provide guidance on proper spelling after our first draft is complete. Disclaimer: If there are zero learners enrolled in a class 24 hours before the start time the class is then presumed canceled. Cancellation policy: As an ongoing class, learner subscriptions are charged on a weekly basis. If a learner is going to miss class please stop the subscription by the Saturday before to ensure you aren't charged. A refund will not be issued otherwise.
Learning Goals
Students will improve writing skills, traits, understand how to make use of a graphic organizer, practice proofreading/editing techniques.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Oregon Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello!
My name is Ms. Taylor and I am so excited to meet you! I hope that you decide to take one of my classes. Before you do, here is a bit about me...
Educational Background--
I graduated college with a BS in Elementary Education and ESOL endorsement. This endorsement helps me to teach English Speakers of Other Languages but also provides me with more enhanced skills I can use to adapt my teaching for any learner struggling with English, reading and comprehension. Since then I have also received a TESOL certificate. I have been a brick and mortar teacher for six years now as my full time job. When I have time I love to teach online too! Between Outschool and an additional online tutoring company I have been teaching online for about four years now. I have taught students aged 4-12 both online and in school physically. For the current academic school year I am teaching 4th grade for the fourth year in person. I have also taught kindergarten, 1st and 5th grade in person as well.
Classes--
I am very passionate about teaching and move to make learning in our classroom enjoyable. I absolutely love to read and instill that same passion in my students. I am particularly interested in helping students identify letter names and sounds, practice phonemic awareness and gain better reading comprehension strategies. I strongly believe reading and writing go hand in hand. I'd relish the chance to enhance your student's reading and writing skill.
Fun Facts--
Besides teaching I love to travel, hike and spend time with my animals. I've traveled quite a bit in Europe and enjoy visiting my family and friends scattered across the United States. My German Shepherd also shares a love for hiking and travel. He often goes with me wherever I go. I have owned and trained horses most of my life. I began riding donkeys when I was 2 years but my passion for horses grew as I aged. I worked hard to buy my first horse when I was 13 and have held that love for horses ever since. I still have the two horses I bought when I was young. I enjoy snuggling up with my cats, a cup of hot tea and reading a good book. I am so excited to trade knowledge with your child about their animal experiences, love for travel or other outside activities!
I look forward to meeting your learner in the classroom! See you soon!Reviews
